13. I used to be a baby and all I did all day long was go “Wah wah wah!” Isn’t that funny? Wah! (Goes into two-minute long giggle fit over her own joke.)

14. Got any cookies around here?

15. (Another long pause while she attempts to lick her right elbow.)

16. Guess what? I have princess pajamas! I LOOOVEEE princesses! And pajamas! I wish I could wear my pajamas ALL DAY LONG, don’t you?

17. I really,really, really want to watch Hannah Montana, but my mommy says she’s not ready for me to start talking like a teenager yet. What’s THAT aposed to mean?

18. My favorite food is…is…anything red!

19. Guess what? My mommy loves to shop! She shops A LOT! Like EVERY DAY!
20-24. Uh-oh. I gotta go potty! (Frantic hopping up and down followed by a mad dash to the bathroom, then a few minutes of confusion while she tries to zip up her pants with her toes because apparently she’s now pretending to be an orangutan.)

25. (sigh) Can I go now? After I have a cookie? Pleasepleaseplease?? It won’t spoil my dinner, I PROMISE!

Kids! Oh the fodder they provide. Running after me asking questions all day long. Mummy, why is the sky blue? Mummy, why does that license plate have only numbers? Mummy, why are those ear plugs sticking out of your ears? Mummy, why is “who can stay quiet the longest” your favorite game?

Oh my gosh. That was priceless! Thanks for getting my Tuesday started with some belly-busting laughter — and I agree with Marinka that this was the best 25 Random Things list ever in the history of 25 Random Things lists. Ever.

She sounds like a kid from my school. I love the randomness of kids! It makes it rather funny when I have to discipline a young child. They give me that look of not really getting it and then make some sort of announcement. My favorite announcement was the time the kid told me his dad really LOVED mountain oysters.

not to diminish marinka’s insightful comment about this being the “best 25 things about me” list ever (i happen to agree) – but could marinka simply be advancing her own, narrow, cat agenda? and remember, this is after she tried to banish you from her blog because of your extremely helpful “catscratch fever” suggestion. i’m just saying…

Aw, that was really cute. Had that been my son, each answer would be 2-3 paragraphs. He does not stop! And all the while his eyes are as wide as saucers. Hmm…I think he drinks Red Bull during “Center Time” instead of playing with building blocks or something.
